Thanks, well I got kind of interested in the idea of lucid dreaming a while ago and at the time had some recurring dreams of tsunamis coming. One of the dreams I realized I were dreaming as the wave hit and ran around on top of the water yelling that I was dreaming but the excitement woke me up. It was a cool experience but I kind of just ignored it until maybe a month ago when I started getting back into the idea. Since then I started checking my hand throughout the day for 5 fingers, and have had 2 cases where I had more and less than 5 fingers in my dream causing me to lucid dream... Neither time were long or controlled. After this I've started writing in a dream journal and the recall is improving I'm just at a debate because I love smoking weed, but at the same time I really love the idea of controlling my dreams.
